The only podcaster I know frequents the site is Yugopnik, and JT did an AMA like 3 years ago.

The lathe of heaven has been a thing in leftist Twitter for longer than hexbear has existed lol

48 per cent) of those aged 18 to 27 thought that Britain was a racist country

Now, how many brits think that, but also think that it should be even more racist? We’re living through times where people are celebrating that they don’t have to pretend to care about minorities anymore.

Yeah, he’s not making working class people grovel on camera for Healthcare, shitty houses or life-changing amounts of money, so that’s a marked improvement from his usual stuff.

It might be me being autistic, but he just looks really tired in these pictures. Like, the lower half of his face is the Mr Beast signature smile, and the top half is saying “I haven’t slept more than 4 hours the past couple weeks”

So was the history channel in the 2000s. Still, a bunch of people like antiquity because of things like that. It’s not the best egyptology content there can be, but my point was that it’s likely to be the only ancient Egypt the sticky-handed, terminally online menaces who are his audience will actually be interested in.

It does seem like a system that rewards obsession and borderline neuroticism.

Sometimes i found the long-ass TNs to be funnier than the subtitled dialog. I’ve always been a sucker for arcane humor.

You’re clearly unfamiliar with the cultural makeup of the rest of Latin America, and the context of the joke i was remembering, yet you managed to throw in a chauvinistic remark. I’m sure all Mexican people don’t have a roof over their house, especially the ones shown in the media that’s consumed elsewhere in Latin America. I forgot only white people could come up with roofs.

If anything what’s lazy is not the untranslated word, but the TN just saying “bad”

You know what? Compared to the vapid, condescending and outright dangerous shit he’s done for videos, this is kind of ok? Exposing all of these children who would be very unlikely to be interested in egyptology otherwise to ancient Egypt, the same way many of us got exposed to it through weird Egypt documentaries in the 90s and 2000s, is not that evil.

I hate that this guy has been given what seems like infinity money, and that he uses that money to gain abusive access to archeological sites, but at its core I think it’s not that terrible?

Inb4 some article or expose about how his crew destroyed some 5000 year old artifact trying to get a good angle or some shit like that, and I’ll have to eat my words.

I’ve been looking into making video essays, and it’s crazy how much time and energy people can spend on thumbnails and A/B testing them, and it’s even crazier that it does work. FD signifier said that just changing the thumbnail on an old video made his views go up like 5x

As a good hexbear user, I forget about civility all the time.

You’d be surprised how much brit culture upper middle class people from the global south consume. Once i heard a comedian from a latin american country say: The upper class aspires to be British and, the middle class aspires to be American, and the lower class aspires to be Mexican. And their media consumption kind of reflects that.

The only acceptable answer is

Thank goodness now I know I’ll be able to bond with some Chinese people over Mitchell and Webb references

Yeah this has been a thing for over a century.
